(For All Tools)
VOLTAGE WARNING:
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
EXTENSION CORDS.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
The tool is shipped from the factory with the saw blade and blade guard not in the installed condition. Assemble as follows:
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer flange with the offset wrench and loosen the hex nut counterclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the outer flange.
Assemble the inner flange, blade, outer flange and hex nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of the blade are pointing down at the front of the table. Always install the hex nut with its recessed side facing the outer flange.
To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with the offset wrench, then tighten the hex nut clockwise with the wrench. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT SECURELY.
Tighten the hex bolts (A) with the offset wrench. The spreader installing location is factory-adjusted so that the blade and spreader will be in a straight line. However, if they are not in a straight line, loosen the hex bolts (B) and adjust the blade guard mounting portion (stay) so that the spreader is aligned directly behind the blade. Then tighten the hex bolts (B) to secure the stay.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm (5/32" 13/64") between the spreader and the blade teeth. Adjust the spreader accordingly and tighten the hex bolts (A) securely. Attach the table insert on the table, then check to see that the blade guard works smoothly before cutting.
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in the bottom of the table saw. When securing the table saw on the work bench, make sure that there is an opening in the top of the work bench the same size as the opening in the bottom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table saw stand should be secured to the floor.
NOTE: Table saw stand
The miter gauge and wrenches can be stored on the left side of the base and the rip fence can be stored at the rear of the base.
The depth of cut may be adjusted by turning the handle. Turn the handle clockwise to raise the blade or counterclockwise to lower it.
NOTE:
Loosen the lock lever counterclockwise and turn the handwheel until the desired angle (0° - 45°) is obtained. The bevel angle is indicated by the arrow pointer. After obtaining the desired angle, tighten the lock lever clockwise to secure the adjustment.
The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45° to the table surface. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows:
Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it. Place a triangular rule on the table and check to see if the blade is at 90° or 45° to the table surface. If the blade is at an angle shown in Fig. A, turn the adjusting screws clockwise; if it is at an angle shown in Fig. B, turn the adjusting screws counterclockwise to adjust the positive stops.
After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that its right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation.
Raise the grip of the rip fence. Install the rip fence on the table so that the fence holder engages with the guide rail. The rip fence can be secured by lowering the grip.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm (5/64" - 1/8") from the blade. Raise the blade up to maximum elevation. Mark one of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon. These two measurements should be identical. If the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:
Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may occur.
Bring the rip fence up flush against the side of the blade. Make sure that the arrow pointer on the fence holder points to the 0 graduation. If the arrow pointer does not point to the 0 graduation, loosen the screw on the scale plate and adjust the scale plate.
This tool is equipped with a special type of switch to prevent unintentional starting. To start the tool, first depress the switch lever. While keeping it depressed, pull its lower portion toward you. To stop the tool, press the lower portion of the switch lever.
When operating the switch lever, it is convenient to view it through the window area in the table.
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of "work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts without the need for the operator to contact the blade with any part of the body.
A push stick can be easily made from a piece of plywood 19 mm (3/4") to 25 mm (1") thick. Cut out the hatched area on the stick and smooth edges with a file. (H) dimension should be less than 12.7 mm (1/2") so as to be thinner than the workpiece.
Use a 19 mm (3/4") piece of plywood.
Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fasten with glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 9.5 mm x 8 mm x 50 mm (3/8" x 5/16" x 2") of wood must always be glued to plywood to keep the blade from dulling if the operator cuts into push block by mistake. (Never use nails in push block.)
Fasten with glue and wood screws.
Make auxiliary fence from 9.5 mm (3/8") and 19 mm (3/4") plywood pieces.
A wood facing should be used for operations when the blade comes close to the rip fence. Wood facing for the rip fence should be the same size as the rip fence. Make sure the bottom of facing is flush with the table surface.
Use the miter gauge for the 4 types of cutting shown in the figure.
Slide the miter gauge into the thick grooves in the table. Loosen the knob on the gauge and align to desired angle (0° to 60°). Bring stock flush up against fence and feed gently forward into the blade.
To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with bolts/nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not protrude from the face board.
Before operating the table saw, check to be sure that the antikickback pawls operate properly. Turn the tool off and unplug it. Feed the workpiece under the blade guard and along both sides of the blade to simulate cutting. Try to withdraw the workpiece on each side by pulling it toward you. The antikickback pawls should grab the workpiece and prevent it from moving back toward the operator. Always keep the antikickback pawls sharp so they will operate properly. Keep them sharp by using a round-shaped file to maintain the original shape of the pawls.
(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm (6") and wider, carefully use your right hand to feed the workpiece. Use your left hand to hold the workpiece in position against the rip fence.
(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm (2-1/2" - 6") wide, use the push stick to feed the workpiece.
(3) When the width of rip is narrower than 65 mm(2-1/2"), the push stick cannot be used because the push stick will strike the blade guard. Use the auxiliary fence and push block. Attach the auxiliary fence to the rip fence with two "C" clamps.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is about 25 mm (1") from the front edge of the table. Continue to feed using the push block on the top of the auxiliary fence until the cut is complete.
Clean out sawdust and chips from time to time. Carefully clean the blade guard and moving parts inside the table saw.
To keep the table saw in tip-top running condition, and to assure maximum service life, oil or grease the moving parts and rotating parts from time to time.
Lubrication places:
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a holder cap opener to remove the brush holder caps. To replace the carbon brush in the side near the table, lower the blade as far as possible by turning the handle. Loosen the lock lever, tilt the blade and secure it at 45°. Then loosen the brush holder cap while viewing it through the opening of the base. Remove the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.

NOTE:
When installing two outside cutters without any inside cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each other.
When dadoing, use featherboards. The diagram shown illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard. It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is free of knots or cracks.
Featherboards are used to keep the workpiece in contact with the rip fence and table as shown, and to stop kickbacks.
To install featherboards, proceed as follows:
(Part No. 192680-7)
Place the stays on a level location and assemble the legs inside. Secure with the bolts and nuts, then attach the rubber caps to the ends of the legs.
Now set the table saw on top of the assembled stand and secure with four bolts, washers and nuts.
